    Halloween

    What do you plan to do for your kiddos for Halloween?! Will you have a party? Treat bags? Dress up? Halloween movie? Will this occur on Halloween or before?

    On Halloween, we will be having a movie day and I give out homemade pumpkin white chocolate chip pecan cookies to all my families.

        We just did a Halloween party/Parent's Night Out on Saturday. It worked out great because it was also Sweetest Day! We played Halloween games, watched a Halloween movie, did crafts, and had pizza! Each DCK that came got a big goodie bag. We also had a costume contest (everyone won something)! Those that couldn't come will get a small goodie bag!

          The kids can dress up and I will dress up, but it's not a huge party. We might decorate cookies.

            I'm always closed on Halloween.

            The holiday is one I feel the kids should spend with their family doing whatever it is their family does for Halloween.

              I have a very young group, 2 and under. What do you guys do with the little littles? They can't really decorate cupcakes.

                The kids are going to be allowed to wear costumes (within reason and w/ no accesories), and we are going to decorate cupcakes, do a fun halloween craft, and weather permitting - have a little parade down the block.

                  My group is 2 and under - decorating cupcakes for us is putting on sprinkles. They still love it.

                      I plan to have the kids dress up in their costumes, watch "The great pumpkin" have Halloween related snacks (ghost bananas, teeth made from apples and marshmallows, mummy hotdogs for lunch - things like that), and make a sensory bin filled with cooked/dyed spaghetti and add spider rings.

                        We are going to an assisted living home for the elderly dressed in our costumes and have a parade. The DCK will hand out treats to the residents. We are going with 4 other FCC. Mine are 2.5 and under.

                          What a fun idea!

                            We're doing a pirate treasure hunt (hopefully I'll be able to burry the treasure in the leaves and they'll have shovels to "dig" it up with), then watching a Halloween movie. Most likely decorating cookies or cupcakes too. I think . I haven't figured it out 100% yet.

                              I'm Halloween's version of Ebenezer Scrooge, so I won't be doing anything with the daycare kids. My wife or I take our kids trick or treating, she'll put up a few decorations, & I'll have candy here for trick or treators. Otherwise I ignore the holiday completely. I can fake enthusiasm over dcks' costumes so the dcks enjoy themselves, but I really don't care.
